I promised to post this for a member a while ago, and just found the image.
These are not the rarest, that is a matter of opinion by the individual. Every gap in my collection is a rare stamp, but these are a few of the more well known.
I remember some of the old childrens albums having some of those pictured on the inside cover - it always had me believing I could find them in those cloth mixture bags they sold at Woolworths in the late 60's.
I remember a writer in Gibbons Stamp Monthly on the early stamps of Soruth, many years ago, describing several of these stamps, of which only one example was known, as 'uniquities'. A nice play on 'iniquity', which is how I feel about items destined always to remain holes in my collection.
Yes, I like that Tony, as I do the vernacular for the Indian Princely States..."The Primitives"
I have heard (probably gossip) that Ampol Petroleum when they were promoting their service station stamp albums and stamps,(in the 1960's ?) they would put a penny black in a selection every so often to keep collector suspense up.
